Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter --- (New Site! FriendsofBCAS.org): Friends of BCAS

Below is the contents of the weekly Adoptions & Newsletter email sent out on 6/9/11.

Hello, fellow Friends of BCAS volunteers!

I know you're excited to see who got adopted this week (so many great animals found homes!), but please spare a moment to read the following announcements:

• NOTICE: Dog walkers, on these very hot summer days, please limit the amount of time you walk/exercise a dog to 10 minutes, and do not run your dog.

• REQUEST: To help the dogs combat the heat, we'd love to get a kiddie/doggy swimming pool out in the yard so the dogs can have a nice, refreshing bath! Please email Jenn at jennak87@yahoo.com if you have a doggy pool or a sturdy kiddie swimming pool you'd like to donate!

• REMINDER: Volunteers, please do not write on the animals' clipboard papers. Notes about the animal should only go on the orange Volunteer Sheet.

• REMINDER: Every Saturday from noon to 3, volunteers can take shelter dogs to the Mount Laurel Petsmart to show the dogs off and promote adoption! We still need volunteers to help with this! After contacting Lorraine, you'd pick your dog up at 11-11:30 AM, drive it over to the Petsmart after a little walk, hang out with fellow dog lovers and their dogs, and return your dog to the shelter by 3:30 PM! It's fun and easy. Please contact Lorraine at jajachris@aol.com to help out.

...Thank you! And now, without further ado...

We thought you'd like to see some of the wonderful animals that were adopted most recently! Your efforts help the animals to stay calm and sane, and this makes them so much more attractive to potential adopters. We truly appreciate the time you put in, and we know the animals do too.

More cats and dogs were adopted, rescued, fostered or reclaimed beyond these below, but I don't have pictures!

Special Fuzzy Mention: Snuffie the rat was adopted after 10 days!
